Glacier Lake and Conical Peak

Glacier Lake can technically be accessed from many of the trailheads in the Crazies but the Big Timber Creek Trail is the most popular approach. The lake lies at 8700' for a net elevation gain of 2200' over 7.6 miles but a 10,000' saddle must be crossed to get there which substantially increases the difficulty of the hike. The trail climbs gradually towards Twin Lakes, a great, albeit popular camping spot, and increases in steepness as you switchback up the saddle followed by a sharp decent down to the lake. The Eagle Park trailhead on the northeast side of the Crazies may provide an easier approach since you don't have to cross the saddle. Those thirsting for more adventure might consider bagging Conical Peak along the way. It's a class 3 scramble that covers and additional ~1/4 mile over 700' of elevation.
